not particularly impressive, but I mainly wanted to show off the cute animations...
let's see if we can get back into game dev shall we

this is going to seem a bit underwhelming, but here is one culmination of a near complete rework of the game's systems: loading screens :3
level data is now loaded as needed instead of all at once, reducing memory usage from 500mb to around 60mb(?), and speeding up the game

I'm finally around halfway finished with world 1's levels. I hope.
level design takes such a ridiculously long amount of time to build, and none of it could be any worth a damn, and it's probably straight up bad. that's spooky.
unrelated. check out these hanging lanterns

in the mean time, i have only but a crumb to offer
I was having a hard time visualizing how I was going to get room boundaries to merge together, so I made a quick javascript script script to test ideas out until something worked.

spent 40 minutes learning and using a video editor to show off before and after the player overhaul
... it was for naught. you can't tell the difference lmfao
it's definitely something you can feel more than you can see tbh. it's incredibly subtle but somehow it really makes a difference :3

I've been spending the last week rewriting the entire player file to be less horrible.
I *wish* I had some nice images/videos to show for it like I do when I play with graphics and such, but all I really have right now are a bunch of commits.
maybe I could make a bunch of comparison gifs?

took a ton of work, but everything is back to normal!
game used to take 800mb of memory, now it's taking 300mb!!and I set it up to be pretty easy to lower in the future, whenever I get around to that
second screenshot is the obligatory "you can barely tell anything changed" screenshot. lol.

sorry for the slow updates on The Game as of late, btw. I'm reworking how the world is loaded and it's taking much much longer than I anticipated lol.
it's going very well.

quick little graphics update: lights can be brighter than 1 now, which makes some things look a bit brighter :3

I've mostly been posting graphics updates because they're fun, but I've been wondering if anyone would appreciate some clips of work in progress levels?

been working on more behind the scenes stuff that isn't worth showing lol.
I decided to treat myself and do a Post Processing. I don't like it when effects are obvious, so the tweaks I did is almost unnoticeable...
before and after. bloom, chromatic aberration, and a little crack effect :3

then I polished it. fixed the colors, tuned the wavy-ness, and gave it an outline for visibility.
it looks okay. next up, I'll add some ripples when you jump into it, and probably some bubble particles
